Who We Are
About the Opportunity
-
As Growth Design Director for Onshore Exchange & Pay, you will lead the design discipline driving high-impact growth levers across our trading and payments platforms. You will own the end-to-end design strategy for acquisition, activation, engagement, retention and monetisation funnels, and scale the product design team globally.

You will partner across product, growth, analytics, engineering and content, and you will bring a data-driven, user-centred, and growth-mindset to design a world-class experience in the fast-moving crypto-financial frontier.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Define and own the design vision and growth strategy for OEX & Pay product lines: set objectives (e.g., activation rates, retention lift, pay-product adoption) and turn them into design roadmaps.
-
Lead the design of high-leverage growth experiments: ideate, prototype, test, measure, iterate. Work with data/analytics to extract insights from funnels and user behaviour.
-
Scale the product design team: recruit, mentor, coach senior and mid-level designers. Build a high‐performing “One Design Team” across geographies.
-
Define performance frameworks and ensure accountability for measurable outcomes.
-
Establish and evolve design systems, patterns and processes to support rapid experimentation and consistent execution across global markets.
-
Advocate for clarity-first and locally-relevant design: maintain brand coherence, but optimise for local market conditions, languages, cultural nuance.
-
Collaborate closely with product managers, growth marketers, analytics/data teams, engineers, compliance & security to ensure design decisions align with business, user and regulatory goals.
-
Ensure that design work is deeply user-centred: drive user research, UX testing, usability studies, qualitative & quantitative feedback loops.
-
Be the voice of design within growth and product functions: elevate design’s role, communicate strategic value, influence senior leadership decisions.
-
Track and report on design impact: define and monitor KPIs (e.g., CAC, LTV, activation rate, retention curve) and tie design work to business outcomes.
